Whitewater course design plans falling into place

Conceptual designs for a proposed white-water course alongside the Oklahoma River downtown include elements for users both novice and professional. Course design said he is basing it on previously ones developed in Charlotte, N.C., and used at last summer’s Olympics in London.

The mud red rivers and lakes in Oklahoma City may soon be overshadowed by a new, much more pristine water element.

Designers of a proposed white-water racing and training course on the Oklahoma River downtown said the facility, when built, stands to attract Olympic and professional training teams from across the country.
